Higher Education at a Crossroads: Funding, Accountability, and Governance Challenges of Today’s Universities

MAR 25, 2022 • 12–1pm
VIRTUAL EVENT

Join us for a virtual Baker Cafe with Dr. Robert Kelchen of UT’s College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences. Public higher education currently faces unprecedented challenges in the aftermath of the pandemic and rising skepticism of the value of a college education. This has squeezed the budgets of most colleges and universities and has increased the pressure on higher education to produce results for society. In this Baker Cafe, join a leader in the field of higher education policy to discuss the current challenges facing public universities and some potential paths forward.
